I wish the panel were being live-streamed somewhere. 

I do wonder if Bib Fatuna will ever find his way out as an individual release? I wanted to keep one carded but REALLY don't want to buy two Throne Rooms...

Am I the only one here that needs the Jabba???

Nope, I do too. The most recent version I have is the 2004 Saga Ultra version. I had missed both the Black Series TRU set & the Khetanna.

Like Jeff, I’m dumb and ordered two sets… I also figured since this won’t be out for almost a year and a half that I can always just cancel one of them between now & then if Hasbro announces any single carded versions of 8-D8, or other sets with Salacious (not that I really need a new Salacious.)

The odd part is that the BoBF playset comes with a dais.

But the annoying part for completionists is that while they are the same sculpt the paints app’s definitely seem to be different (Jabba’s is lighter)  and they come with different pillows and blankets

I am still working on my list, and now I may need to update it after the Jabba announcement. This is a tough one. There are so many sets I'd love. I keep going back and forth between set pieces from key story moments in the film & bigger set pieces that can be used with a ton of other figures. Then there's the whole OT, PT, ST, & D+ era debate... I don't think I'd be unhappy with anything anyone has suggested so far.

Wow, the set looks great. I agree on the release timing, it would have been nice to get it closer to the Throne Room playset release and in the ROTJ 40th Anniversary collection. I was ok with the 30AC Salacaious Crumm, but I do dig the new one. 8D8 looks FANTASTIC. And there's no way this is his only release. I'd be willing to bet he later gets put on a single card for carded collectors who want to "Complete the 96", hopefully they use the old ROTJ art rather than something from his TBOBF appearance. I guess the delayed release will let me set up the Throne Room set as a TBOBF scene for awhile before it gets permanently converted into Jabba's Palace when this set comes out.

$89.99 sure is a far cry from the old $9.99 blue Saga Ultra Jabba we got back in '04... Value of the set is still decent by today's standards (especially given the $40 Krrsantan we are about to get), but I still wouldn't have minded it being about $20 cheaper. I would have taken the rugs and pillows sculpted to the dias to cut costs, but they gotta double dip from the Throne Room set and release all of those again to justify the higher pricepoint here.  Those rugs do at least look like they are made of some sort of soft-goods. Here's roughly how I'd see the cost breaking down:

• $39.99 - Jabba the Hutt
• $19.99 - Dias & Hookah
• $16.99 - 8D8
• $11.99 - Salacious B. Crumb, Rugs, Pillows & Accessories

I'd love to see another Bad Batch figure or two. I'd be nice if Hunter had some other members of the squad to pose with. I also wouldn't mind seeing some more "Finish the 96" figures, some Ewoks would be nice.

I got Colt today, and miraculously it was relatively undamaged despite having been shipped in their usual flimsy bubble envelope.

Still need to replace the Havoc I received that was crushed to bits.

I got my Colt today.  Came in a nice undamaged box that actually fit the card!  Upon opening, the bubble is coming off the card (card is pristine, though).

I, too, got mine in a bubble mailer yesterday, not a box. I wasn't quite so lucky and my cards had a few heavy creases on them.
